Exchanges, wallets & more — scored
Crypto markets, news, guides and ratings — in one calm place
Simple Crypto Signal is an independent cryptocurrency publication built for people who want clear information instead of hype. We track live prices for the top cryptocurrencies, report the news that actually moves markets, explain how everything works in plain English, and rate the exchanges, wallets and DeFi services readers rely on — all against a fixed, published methodology.
Live crypto prices and market data
Our market pages show real-time price, market capitalization, circulating and maximum supply, 24-hour and 7-day performance, and all-time highs for hundreds of coins, refreshed continuously from CoinGecko. Every coin also carries our own independent analysis — what it is, how it works and the risks worth understanding — so you get context, not just a number.
Independent crypto news and research
Our newsroom covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, Layer-2 networks, DeFi, stablecoins, regulation and real-world assets — reported straight and fact-checked by a second editor before publication. We publish honest analysis with the reasoning attached, never paid coverage dressed up as reporting.
Plain-English crypto guides
New to crypto? Our guides answer the questions beginners actually ask: what a wallet is, how to buy crypto safely, how staking and DeFi work, and how to avoid scams. Each one is written to be finished — no filler, no jargon walls.
Methodology-based ratings
We score crypto exchanges, wallets, DeFi protocols, cards and more from 0 to 10 using a fixed rubric of weighted criteria. Every score is computed, not assigned, and no provider can pay to change it. See exactly how each is calculated in our ratings and methodology.
Nothing on this site is financial advice. Cryptocurrency is volatile and high-risk — always do your own research before investing.
Is Simple Crypto Signal free to use?
+
Yes. All prices, news, guides and ratings are free to read and you don't need an account. We're funded by clearly-labelled advertising and reader support, never by the projects we cover.
Where does the crypto price data come from?
+
Live market data — prices, market caps, volumes and supply — is sourced from CoinGecko and refreshed continuously. Figures are indicative and may differ slightly from any individual exchange.
Are your crypto ratings paid or sponsored?
+
No. Every rating is computed from a fixed, published set of weighted criteria applied identically to every service. No provider can pay for a higher score or a better position, and we never accept payment in exchange for a review.
Is anything on the site financial advice?
+
No. Everything here is for information only and is not financial, investment or tax advice. Cryptocurrency is volatile and high-risk; always do your own research and consider your circumstances before acting.
How often is the site updated?
+
Market data updates continuously, news is published as it happens, and guides are evergreen and revised as the space changes. Ratings are re-reviewed at least twice a year and immediately after any major event.
How does Simple Crypto Signal stay independent?
+
Our revenue comes from labelled advertising and reader support — never from the exchanges, tokens or projects we cover. Writers disclose relevant holdings, and editorial is never for sale.
